Information lifecycle management (ILM) is the practice of strategically managing the data within your organization — including determining where it is stored, how quickly it can be accessed, how it is tracked, and how long it must be retained. With a well-planned ILM initiative, companies can ensure that their SAP solutions live up to their promise of high compliance and high performance; ILM helps companies manage data retention and access requirements to protect their organization from risk.

The foundation of an ILM initiative is a solid data archiving strategy, which enables companies to improve performance and manage their costs.
